Picked up the pictured figures off eBay as 15mm – clearly not 'true' 15mm and look more like 18/20mm so outside of my experience. Anyone recognise them? I'm pretty sure the bot/droid is Pendraken though.
Thanks |

They seem to be RAFM Heavy Gear infantry. They are 20mm and OOP. No idea about the robot. |

Agreed. Look like my HG infantry. Just beat up. |

Thanks. No way I'd have ID'ed them. Never even new that HG was anything other than micro-scale. Rather nice mini's, if a little flat, look like they'd proxy for Rebel Commandoes. Will strip and paint up – and may be even keep. Because like I need to do another sci-fi project in a 5th scale….. with OOP miniatures. |

Thanks. No way I'd have ID'ed them. Never even new that HG was anything other than micro-scale. Heavy Gear started out in 1/87 scale with the integrated RPG/minis/card-duel rules. When they split the rules, they re-sized the models to 1/144 which made for better mass battles. That was a pretty quick split, honestly, sometime around 2 years after introducing the core rules. |

Finally found them on NobleKnight, only ~$40 a blister pack – infantry or Gear! Have toyed with Heavy Gear for my 15mm sci-fi projects, but price has always put me off. But you can pick up single plastic frames on eBay these days. 1:144 Gears seem to work from posts I've seen, I'm guessing the 1:87 would scale even better – when I win the lottery… etc etc… |
